Which is why I am Mr. Pick Ryan Kelly at #30!

:P

I'm pretty sure gettlemen mentioned how good he is in the presser the other day.

If Gettleman was offering Norman $10m per season, then he is going to offer KK and Star $7m per season.

Expect both Star and KK to look elsewhere for $13m+ per season.

No worries. I am sure they will be easy to replace just like Norman.

I think Gettleman values his interior DL more than a CB.  I suspect there were a couple more variables G was considering when negotiating with Josh. I think his offer to those guys will be more competitive to try and lock (at least one of) them up.

stud interior linemen with pass rush skills like KK get paid more than top flight cornerbacks so the baseline for even a "cheap" offer will be higher.  plus gettleman absolutely adores d-linemen

as usual cpantherking is confused.  this isn't a "cheap" front office, this is a front office that operates with a particular philosophy and has a set of values they assign based on that.

I'm worried some of these younger players up for contract saw Norman get paid after gettlemen lowballed him.

Gettleman didn't lowball him.

had josh's agent not been hired from out in front of a gas station convenience store they probably would have eventually started playing some ball in the $13-14 million range

he's going to take it to the bank and try to get them to change it out to pennies

[greghardy'sAK-47]

no reason to change the FO system because some agent fuged poo up.  with how the panthers have been doing in the draft we all knew some really good players were going to have to walk at some point.  save the money for the biggie contracts coming down the pipe.  one year, prove it deals should suffice.

He's talking about this year. Star is still under contract for two years,  his number will not change. KK's will probably only change by a prorated amount of his signing bonus,  his base will likely stay the same with the extension starting in 2017. Of,  course Gettleman will probably roll some cap space forward but again,  Star's number probably won't change significantly until 2018.

Also,  are we sure about it being $35 million? Both Spotrac and Over the Cap,  show closer to $31 million. 

You don't do anything this year and save it for when their contracts come up. This way you get that 3rd rd comp pick for JNo. Signing players means no comp pick

buy a BMW and drive like a douche.....that's what he's going to do

[chknwing]

It's weird and I still dont understand it but if Getty never tags Norman, he has that $14 million to speed in free agency right of the back.  Wonder what he would have done with it then.  Who could carolina of signed?

Just got to wait until after a certain date.  I think it's right after the draft.  After that date, FA signings don't count against comp pick consideration.

I keep going back to the Joe Thomas, Joe Staley well.  Wait to see which team takes Ronnie Stanley and/or Tunsil, then offer a 3rd this year and our newfound 3rd next year.  Give those hopeless teams multiple second day picks and a salary dump, give the vet a ring, and give us by far the best OL in football at less cost and more years than JNo would have been.  We can absorb the salary and still get Ogbah, Fuller, Ervin, and Byard.
